There is an
Indian legend, which says:
"when a human dies, there is a bridge they must cross
to enter into heaven. At the head of
this bridge awaits every
animal the human encountered during their lifetime...
The animals, based upon what they know
of this person, decide
which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away"....
~Author Unknown
"If you talk
with the animals they will talk with you
and you will
know each other.
If you do not
talk to them you will not know them,
and what you
do not know you will fear.
What one fears,
one destroys."
~CHIEF DAN GEORGE
Love the animals.
God has given
them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.
Do not trouble
it, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness,
don't work against
God's intent.
~Dostoyevsky
